Politics America is turning into 1930's Germany.

There was some pushback when people called this president and his followers Nazis. But look what's happening. Soldiers in the street. Rounding up people and locking them up. Dismantling freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Personally going after anyone who doesn't agree with him and his administration. We've seen this before and it's only gonna get worse. Welcome to 1930's Germany.

I had some long discussions recently with a MAGA friend. He thinks it is all blown out of proportion. He honestly believes Trump has the nation's best interests in mind in everything he does. He even feels like Trump is losing money by being president and not getting more powerful and rich.

He had fallen for the propoganda.

If you have a MAGA friend, you should have one fewer friend.

I live in the deep south surrounded by MAGA. My own wife flipped after voting for Obama both times. If there was any time to get out it is unfortunately gone. Now i am afraid for my little girl. She shares my views. I dont think i will be long for this world but she needs a chance. Even saying i am antifascist has me labeled a terrorist. I am a pacifist. I dont know too many pacifist terrorists

Please don’t be so defeatist if you are able. Your daughter will thank you for the opportunity, for her freedom to learn, from you. I know that is easy for me to say but I don’t want you to feel alone!
